In reality, I’ll be able to rent out one of the two units, and I will live in the other unit with a few friends, so I’ll actually be living for free & positively cash flowing, with a good cushion for potential issues/disasters, but I know that’s not how it’ll appear on paper unfortunately.

HELOCs aren't like 30YF first position mortgages where you can call 10 different lenders and all are within 0.25% to rate with very similar requirements.... each bank is making up whatever they want for the HELOC in terms of conditions, requirements, rates, etc.
